Witness Statements (12281_17)
Request
Please could I request the following information:
- Are witness statements routinely typed-up before being made available to witnesses attending court? (Will every witness receive a typed-up statement when attending court?)
- Does this differ depending on whether the trial is being heard at a Crown Court or Magistrates Court?
- Are there any relevant local policies or guidance regarding this?
